"Read for my Ecofem lit class. Pro tip: Don't read this like a normal book. Read Stone Telling sections first, then poke around the rest of it until you've finished. Otherwise, your brain will explode."

Read for my Vietnam travel seminar. Also got to meet the author, who is incredibly friendly and funny in person. I loved the circular structure of this book--it wasn't a simple circle, but circled back on itself many times over. |

| I enjoyed that this was a linear memoir in poems. It was the first one I'd seen, and the fact that it dealt with anxiety and panic attacks, things usually not discussed or taken seriously, made it even better. | |

“A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”
